Next Kingdom Hearts to be portable spin-off, not KHIII

by James Ransom-Wiley on May 4th 2007 12:52PM

Ever wonder what "King" Mickey was really doing in the World of Darkness -- or how he got his mitts on that keyblade? Well, Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura has told Famitsu that the next Kingdom Hearts game will explain just that, CVG reports. Nomura isn't talking Kingdom Hearts III (as EGM speculated), but rather a spin-off entry bound for portability. "[It] would be hard to choose if to make the game for the PSP, NDS or the cell phone," teases a rough translation of Nomura's comments to Famitsu.

The designer hinted that the side-story would play "slightly different" than the rest of the Kingdom Hearts series. "I want to ... change the system a little," said Nomura, adding, "The multi-developing makes me want to put it on something else [other than consoles.]" Sounds like Nomura isn't interested in sharing any one game on multiple platforms. So when can we poll the rest of Square Enix on this issue?

It's very simple Mr. Nomura, you pull a DQIX (Dragon Quest IX), make it for the DS, and make millions.

As far as the cell phone comment goes, I actually walked into a Verizon Wireless store yesterday and saw Phoenix Wright on a cell phone. *Gag* Don't do it.

Oh! Say it isn't so, Tetsuya Nomura!

I'm still waiting on a US release of KH2:FM+.

And if that means that I have to go out and buy another console (Xbox 360 *shudder*), I just might have to.

(PS. To all the would-be flamers: I have nothing against the 360, it's just my current funds will not allow me to purchase one. I would like to have one, I just have my money invested in a Wii, a DS, a GameCube, and a PS2. Not to mention a new Cell Phone (LG AX8600 *sweeeeetness!*), and countless other things that make living day to day possible.)

please be psp....please be psp....though i know it won't.

psp or ds, doesnt matter (i have both) just PLEASE don't let it be cellphone.

I don't think Japan understand how much the rest of the world doesn't play on cell phones. Isn't that right, N-Gage?

That's absolutely right, Zertoss!

No one plays with me anymore. *cries*

MY BUTTONS NEED TO BE PUSHED TOO, YOU KNOW!

Too bad I look too much like a Taco to really do anything. :'(

I DL'ed that gimped version of Kingdom Hearts on my cell phone.

...and about 45 minutes later called Verizon and demanded my money back (and they listened!)

Unless it's a REAL simple game like Tetris or Space Invaders, cell phone games suck...and even those games are kinda gimped.
Games on cell phones = BAD. Always have,been always will be.

That's right N-Gage...

You're MY bitch now.

Damn.

*Does whatever DS asks for*

This thread is slowly becoming my favorite in history.

please please please NO card based battles!

*Takes off pants*
*Rips the clothes of the N-Gage*
*Brings N-Gage to its knees*
*Grips the back of the N-Gages head*
*Moves N-Gage's head back and forth*

*N-Gage whimpers*

Oh ho ho N-Gage, don't give up too quickly, you've got another screen to please.

LOL^^

*Wimpers*

At least I'm getting a bit of action.

I really hope it comes to the PSP, even though i have both a PSP and a DS. The PSP could really use an original big name action rpg title, and this would put it over the top in my opinion. Not to mention up until now, SE has been giving all the love to the DS. Although Im very happy to see my old favorite, FFT come to the PSP with extra content.

"this would put it over the top"

Is it even close to the top? I'd say:

"this would put it over the middle"

"Games on cell phones = BAD. Always have,been always will be."

I don't know, when Nintendo shows off the Game Boy Phone, things might change.

Or it could be like the RoKR

"this would put it over the top"

Psh, not a chance in hell.

"this would put it over the middle"

Closer, but not quite.

"this would put it bent over a rail with its pants at its ankles, and its ass in the air"

*Drops pants*

Bingo.

LOOOOL

that is all...

I'll never look at my DS the same way again...

Ever wonder what "King" Mickey was really doing in the World of Darkness

not really... and this is disappointing.

I say Mickey became a Wayward.

"The PSP could really use an original big name action rpg title, and this would put it over the top in my opinion."

Isn't that what they said about MGS:PO and GTA for the PSP?

I'LL tell you the one game that'd put the PSP on top: Doki Doki Majo Saiban.

You know you want to touch those busty under age witches.

hey any one know the email adress for kindom hearts????????????????????????????????????
